Chapter 424 - 424 Suspicion



Wei Xiaotian thought of General Qi and said, “Father, I’ll go with you tonight.”

General Qi did not know how to care for others’ moods. His father was not in good health to begin with. If anything happened to him from anger, it would really be difficult to resolve.

“Okay, tell your subordinates to investigate first. Come with me tonight.”

Wei Guangrong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. He was sick and had no tolerance at the moment. It was indeed inappropriate for him to go alone in such a hurry. His son, Wei Xiaotian, was reliable. It was safer with him around.

Wei Xiaotian heaved a sigh of relief and went down to make arrangements.

He had to investigate this matter thoroughly.

Half a year ago, they had already found out about the eldest prince, Zhou Heng. After a few twists and turns, they finally managed to get someone to approach Zhou Heng and confirm his identity. Just as they were about to bring him back to the capital, waves of assassinations came.

On the way back to the capital, they sent countless elite secret guards, but they couldn’t bring Zhou Heng back safely. In the end, Zhou Heng also died on the way back to the capital. His body returned half a month ago.

Upon hearing this news, his father, Wei Guangrong, immediately fell sick from shock. He held the coffin and cried as he collapsed. When the Empress found out about this news, she was also heartbroken and could not see anyone for the time being.

Zhou Heng’s body had already been secretly buried. Now, another Zhou Heng suddenly appeared. He said that he was the real Zhou Heng. How could this not arouse suspicion?

When Zhou Heng returned to the capital, he was fleeing and being chased all the way. In the end, he died from an assassination. In order to protect him, how many secret guards had died? However, this new Zhou Heng said that he was a scholar and came here for the exam. The road to the capital was calm, and his life was also calm. This did not make sense at all.

However, it was so strange that Zhou Heng was even related to General Qi. This old general had a stubborn temper and did not give him any room for negotiation. If he did not deal with him well, this matter would be brought in front of the empress. It was troublesome to think about.

Wei Xiaotian pondered for a while and called for the secret guards to pass down the order. Time was too tight, and it was impossible to investigate thoroughly in just a few days. However, he still had to be wary of the Second Prince’s spies.

After arranging everything, Wei Xiaotian felt a little more at ease.

Thinking of Wei Guangrong’s health, he called the butler and instructed him to add ginseng when brewing the medicine. Then, he prepared the Qi Raising Life-Saving Pill. These were all for tonight.

He had a feeling that the night would not be peaceful at all.

When General Qi returned to the residence, he told Zhou Heng that the Wei family would come to see him personally tonight so that he could be at ease.

Anyway, since they were meeting tonight, they could make things clear.

Zhou Heng nodded. He thanked General Qi for helping him. Without General Qi, it would not have been so easy for him to meet his maternal grandfather’s family.

All that was left was to wait.

At noon, Zhou Heng returned to his room to take a nap and saw a note on the table.

Stunned, he subconsciously looked around, then closed the door and walked to the table. He picked up the note and opened it.

Looking at the words left on the note, his expression became solemn.

‘Greetings, older brother, I will be waiting for you at Pingjiang Restaurant, From Zhi.’

The note was written by Zhou Zhi. There was only one sentence on it.

Zhou Heng crushed the note in his palm. This sentence made him understand that all his actions were under Zhou Zhi’s control. Zhou Zhi knew everything he did.

Why did Zhou Zhi want to see him now?

Zhou Heng did not understand, but if he did not go, he was afraid that he would implicate the Su family and put them in danger. This matter had nothing to do with them. No matter if he wanted to or not, he had to go and meet him.

He had to go during this break. Seeing the note at this time was enough to prove that Zhou Zhi had already calculated everything.

Zhou Heng avoided everyone in the Great General’s residence and went out through the back door. Pingjiang Restaurant was not far from the Great General’s residence. It was only a quarter of an hour away.

As soon as Zhou Heng entered Pingjiang Restaurant, someone came to pick him up.

“Young Master Zhou, please.”

Jin Qi made an inviting gesture.

Zhou Heng glanced at Jin Qi. He did not know him, but he could sense that the people around Zhou Zhi were extraordinary.

Jin Qi pushed open the door of the room. After Zhou Heng walked in, Jin Qi closed the door and waited quietly outside.

In the room.

Zhou Zhi made an inviting gesture and poured tea for Zhou Heng. He reached out and gently pushed the teacup to Zhou Heng. “Please have some tea, Big Brother.”

Zhou Zhi poured himself a cup and took a sip.

Zhou Heng did not move. He looked at Zhou Zhi and asked, “Why did you call me here?”

The brothers were like fire and water. This was a situation that could not be changed.

Zhou Zhi looked at Zhou Heng and smiled. “Brother, I called you here for nothing else. I just want to chat with you and tell you a story.”

Zhou Zhi had a faint smile on his face as he held the teacup with his pale and slender hand. He took a small sip every time he spoke.

Their eyes met. Both of them were relatively calm.

Zhou Heng said calmly, “What story? I’m all ears.”

After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup. He reached out and picked up the teacup to take a sip. Then, he put down the teacup and looked straight at Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi didn’t look too good. He seemed to be a little worse than when they met a few months ago. His illness was deeply rooted and took away his spirit, making his face look pale.

Even his exposed hands were pale, and his nails were pale and sickly. He lowered his eyes and looked at his own hands. His nails were pink, and the word “healthy” was written all over them.

“This matter started a few years ago. Big Brother, do you still remember that one year, you sent a letter back to the capital?”

Zhou Zhi spoke slowly with a faint smile.

Zhou Heng was nervous. He looked at Zhou Zhi nervously. That year, he sent a letter back to the capital, but there was no reply.

So at that time, he could no longer tolerate him?

Zhou Zhi smiled lightly and continued, “That year, you recovered from a long illness. That year, my legs were amputated. You probably won’t be able to imagine what a dead limb looks like in this lifetime.”

“Mother was very happy to see your letter, but when she looked at me, the joy in her eyes could be instantly concealed. She couldn’t hide her disgust for me. Hehe, I don’t want you to come back. At least, not like that.”

“I set up a trap. I found someone to replace you and hid using your identity. When I needed him, he would be found. When I met you in Furongzhou half a year ago, I knew that it was about time. I revealed his whereabouts to Mother and the Wei family. They were overjoyed, but they were careful not to let me notice. In the past six months, they had gone through a lot of trouble to send hundreds of secret guards to bring that Zhou Heng back to the capital.”
